Good grief, sometimes my titles for these are awfully punny. My apologies to Cailyn for this one! HA!

Well, well, well, welcome to this 3Q’s with the awesome Cailyn Lloyd! I’ve had the pleasure of reading Lloyd’s The Elders series as well as her latest, The Mill, and have to say – she has no problem delivering creeps and frights!

Welcome, Cailyn!

Steve: What does your writing time look like? Do you try to write at the same time each day? Do you have a word count you attempt to hit?

Cailyn: I write the same time every day from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Though I have no specific word count targets, I’m happy with 3K words a day. I work longer hours when I edit, which is most of the time. Writing is about 80% editing for me.

Steve: If you could write a story for another author’s fictional world/series, which would it be and why?

Cailyn: What an interesting question, one I haven’t considered—and yet, none of us are writing fully unique works. We are influenced by everything that came before and therefore, in some sense, we are writing in the fictional worlds of the authors we admire. Is this another way to determine our influences? To answer the question directly: although I love and write horror, it would be thrilling to write an installment of the Jack Reacher series.

Steve: Tell me about your newest release (novel/story/poem/novella) and why someone should read it!

Cailyn: I’ve just finished the first draft of a new novel, tentatively called The Farm. The title may change as Amy Cross has a book by the same name.

Kat Lundquist, a woman on the run, seeks refuge in an old farmhouse. Soon, she is joined by a geologist and a medium, both in search of a mysterious force rising in the rock beneath the house. In the end, she must deal with the problem underneath the house, the people around her who are acting ever more strangely, and the cartel killers pursuing her. It will be fast paced with lots of action and plenty of spooky elements.

Steve: Bonus Question! Do you have a cherished book?

Cailyn: Carrie, The Shining, Cujo, The Dead Zone, Different Seasons, and Christine are all a tie.

All excellent choices!

Thank you so much, Cailyn!
